He wasn't complaining in the first three races. Can we get back to the RB8?

Thank you and yes we can.

Hi guys, my first post here!
Seems like RB was running two versions of sidepods at the end of FP2. Mark wore those with the tunnel and Sebastian the closed ones...

Pics or it didn't happen

You're such a hard bunch to please...
I've been trying to find it on web but seems no FP2 pics available.
Anyways, I was watching it on tele, paused it couple of times and now 100% sure that they ran both versions at the end of practice session on the intermediates...

Thanks for this. So it was even earlier than the end of FP2 as I originally thought...

No, you are not seeing two streaks.

I noticed on a super-slowmo the main element of the front wing flexing quite severely when Vettel was kissing the curbs. Has anyone noticed this? I'm struggling to know what the benefit of this would be.

Yea noticed that too. And not just flexing but every element flexes in a different pattern/resonance then the rest if that makes any sense.

Usually you see the whole wing flexing as one apart from some slight twisting but here it looked like the elements flexed in their own way sort of.

Also noticed the nose of the Sauber flexed up and down. Had no idea it did that.
